Definitions
- the present invention relates to a novel DNA which encodes carbonic anhydrase of a monocotyledon.
- Carbonic anhydrase (carbonic dehydratase) is an enzyme widely occurring in animals and plants, which catalyzes the following reaction. CO2 + H2O ⁇ H+ + HCO3 ⁇ In C3 plants, it is thought that carbonic anhydrase plays a role in preventing evaporation of CO2 from chloroplasts by converting CO2 to carbonate ion.
- One of substrates of ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase (Rubisco) which is an enzyme for carbon dioxide fixation is CO2.
- Rubisco ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase
- carbonic anhydrase supplies the substrate of Rubisco. Localization of carbonic anhydrase in cells of higher plants varies depending on the type of photosynthesis of the plant. In C3 plants, carbonic anhydrase activity is found in chloroplasts and in C4 plants, carbonic anhydrase activity is mainly found in cytoplasm of mesophyll cells.
- carbonic anhydrase catalyzes the reaction by which equilibrium between CO2 and hydrogen carbonate ion (HCO3 ⁇ ) in a solution is maintained. Although this equilibrium is reached under natural conditions, it takes a long time to reach the equilibrium if the enzyme does not participate. Therefore, if this enzyme is introduced by genetic engineering technique into a C3 plant in which the enzyme is not localized in cytoplasm, it is thought that the reaction to reach the equilibrium between CO2 and HCO3 ⁇ is promoted and so the substrate of the enzyme carrying out carbon dioxide fixation is efficiently supplied, so that the ability to carry out carbon dioxide fixation of the plant is promoted.
- PEPC phosphoenol pyruvate carboxylase
- Carbonic anhydrase genes of dicotyledons such as spinach (Burnell, J.N. et al., Plant Physiol 92:37-40 (1990); Fawcett, T.W. et al., J. Biol. Chem. 265:5414-5417), pea (Roeske, C.A. et al., Nucleic Acid Res. 18:3413 (1990); Majeau, N. et al., Plant Physiol. 95:264-268 (1991)), Arabidopsis thaliama (Raines, C.A. et al., Plant Mol. Biol. 20:1143-1148 (1992)) and tobacco (Majeau, N.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a gene encoding a carbonic anhydrase of a monocotyledon.
- the present inventors intensively studied to succeed in cloning maize carbonic anhydrase cDNA from maize cDNA library using carbonic anhydrase cDNA of spinach as a probe, and sequencing the cloned gene.
- the present inventors further succeeded in cloning rice carbonic anhydrase cDNA from rice cDNA library using the thus obtained maize carbonic anhydrase cDNA as a probe, and sequencing the cloned gene, thereby completing the present invention.
- the present invention provides a cloned DNA which encodes carbonic anhydrase of a monocotyledon.
- the present invention also provides a cloned DNA encoding the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 1, 4, 6 or 8 in Sequence Listing or the same amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO. 1, 4, 6 or 8 in Sequence Listing except that one or more amino acid is added, deleted or substituted, said amino acid sequence give enzyme activity of carbonic anhydrase.
- a cloned DNA which encodes carbonic anhydrase of a monocotyledon was first provided. It is expected that by transforming a monocotyledon with this gene, the ability of carbon dioxide fixation of the plant can be promoted, so that growth of the plant can be accelerated.
- the DNA according to the present invention encodes carbonic anhydrase.
- Examples thereof include DNAs encoding amino acid sequences of maize carbonic anhydrases, which are shown in SEQ ID NOs. 1, 6 and 8, and the DNA encoding the amino acid sequence of rice carbonic anhydrase, which is shown in SEQ ID NO. 4.
- the amino acid sequences shown in SEQ ID NOs. 1, 6, 8 and 4 were determined in the examples described below.
- the nucleotide sequences of the DNAs isolated in the examples described below are shown in SEQ ID NOs. 2, 7, 9 and 5.
- the amino acid sequences shown in SEQ ID NOs. 2, 7, 9 and 5 are shown in SEQ ID NOs. 1, 6, 8 and 4, respectively. It should be noted that the amino acid sequences shown in SEQ ID NOs. 1, 6, 8 and 4 were also first determined by the present invention.
- DNAs encoding the proteins having such modifications and having carbonic anhydrase activity are included within the scope of the present invention. That is, cloned DNAs encoding amino acid sequences having the same amino acid sequence as SEQ ID NO. 1, 4, 6 or 8 except that one or more amino acids are substituted, deleted or added, which give the enzyme activity of carbonic anhydrase, are also included in the scope of the present invention.
- DNAs having the same nucleotide sequence as SEQ ID NO. 2, 5, 7 or 9 except that one or more nucleotides are substituted, deleted or added, which encodes an amino acid sequence giving the enzyme activity of carbonic anhydrase are also included within the scope of the present invention.
- Site-specific mutagenesis may be carried out by, for example, using a synthetic oligonucleotide primer complementary to a single-stranded phage DNA except that the desired mutation as follows. That is, using the above-mentioned synthetic oligonucleotide as a primer, a complementary chain is produced by a phage, and host bacterial cells are transformed with the obtained double-stranded DNA. The culture of the transformed bacterial cells is plated on agar and plaques are formed from a single cell containing the phage. Theoretically, 50% of the new colonies contain the phage having a single-stranded chain carrying the mutation and remaining 50% of the colonies contain the phage having the original sequence.
- plaques are then subjected to hybridization with a kinase-treated synthetic probe at a temperature at which the probe is hybridized with the DNA having exactly the same sequence as the DNA having the desired mutation but not with the original DNA sequence that is not completely complementary with the probe. Then the plaques in which the hybridization was observed are picked up, cultured and the DNA is collected.
- the methods for substituting, deleting or adding one or more amino acids without losing the enzyme activity include a method in which the gene is treated with a mutagen and a method in which the gene is selectively cleaved, a selected nucleotide is removed, added or substituted and then the gene is ligated.
- the DNAs according to the present invention may be obtained by the methods described in detail in the examples below. Alternatively, since the nucleotide sequences were determined by the present invention, the DNAs according to the present invention can be easily obtained by the PCR method utilizing the genome of maize or rice as a template and also by so called RT-PCR method using their RNAs as a template.
